BUILT FOR SOUTH AFRICAN SMALL BUSINESSES

Less admin.
More time for

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

The everyday essentials.
In one place.

Practical tools for the admin between
doing the work and getting paid.

01 / CUSTOMERS

Remember the details.

Keep contact details and customer information together, ready for the next conversation or repeat order.

02 / QUOTES & INVOICES

Make it official.

Create clear, professional quotes and invoices, with the details you need to move from an enquiry to a sale.

03 / PAYMENTS

Know where you stand.

Track payments and outstanding balances, so you can see what's been paid and what needs a follow-up.

04 / ORDERS

Keep things moving.

Bring order details together to help organise what needs to be prepared, delivered or collected.

FOR ACCOUNTANTS & BOOKKEEPERS

Better records.
Better conversations.

Good handovers start long before month-end.

We're working towards clearer, more organised client records and useful exports that make it easier to hand information over.

And we'd rather ask what you need than assume. If you work with small businesses, we'd love your input on the records, formats and workflows that would make a real difference.

Help shape BaoBooks

BaoBooks is in development. Accountant handover tools are being shaped through feedback.

LOOKING AHEAD

Growing with
your business.

Starting with the essentials.
Making room for what comes next.

Expenses

Planned

A clearer view of what your business spends, alongside what it earns.

Payroll

Planned

Support for the people side of running a small business.

These are planned additions. Scope and availability will be shared as development progresses.
